That went well...

Damn, what is up with our flat second halves? At least we lost that fair and square and not on the back of a terrible reffing display.
Although, good old league though, eye gouger stays on the field despite multiple replays of the incident and the commentators minimise it because although he was attempting to rake the face and that's ok he just accidentally went near the eye area.

Footage of an eye gouge. You can judge...

So we bitch slapped them in the final test, and the refs finally started sending people from the field - ironically it was Kiwi who got binned first.
A bit hard to gauge this Kiwis squad. Good win over Oz, and got a little bit shafted two weeks in a row with certain decision and non decision and then a big win to finish things off.
MacGuire needs to cop some flak for his use of a second row at hooker (especially when our top hooker was playing with an injury), but 2/4 against the two other best teams in the world is an Ok result considering what went on last year.

Interesting reading some of the coms on the English Rugby League Facebook,some punters moaning about the officials being too slated towards the kiwis..am I missing something...?,when you have had most of the decisions go your way in the first 2 tests,and in some cases,very dodgy ones and that included a dirty prick that should have been sent off for eye gouging..and you just get pumped by 34-0..I don’t think you should have any reason to complain..!

@steven-harris Even in a test where they got pumped there was one period when they basically got three penalties in a row.
Weird one really, you'd think the gouge alone would give them pause before complaining about it.

@nepia It’s almost like like they have turned a blind eye on the 2nd test incident..pardon the play on words..!

@nepia complaining is the only UK-wide passtime!! Rugby, league, cricket, soccer football, you name it!

Valentine Holmes does a Jarryd Hayne and is pursing his dream of playing in the NFL in 2019.
Jarryd Hayne meanwhile is pursing his dream of being a kinky vampire.

This fluffybunny had it all. We are lucky we had SBW and Thorn as our code jumpers and not Hayne.

I dunno. Read my signature for the ferns views on SBW.

@mn5 oh i was his biggest advocate on the fern when he was initially making the ABs, but he needs to fuck off now. Still he doesnt have even the slightest rapey vibe about him, i think we can agree.

Well I wouldn't have picked Hayne either. I heard him interviewed on radio recently and he sounded a great bloke to be honest.

@mn5 did he sound hungry??

Shaun Johnson just posted on his Facebook page with a strong suggestion that the Warriors won't be offering him a new contract after 2019.
Don't be surprised if SJ gets an early release to a team like Sydney City and the Warriors get a player like Te Maire Martin or Kodi Nikorima on a three-year deal. If the Warriors can swing a deal like that, it's the best-case scenario for the club as they should be reluctant to sign a guy to a multi-year contract who will be on the wrong side of 30 for much of the deal (and has never developed into the playmaker we thought he could be).
In other NRL signing news, grub Dylan Napa signs with the Bulldogs and grub David Klemmer signs with Newcastle.

I keep reading shit chat involving names like Corey Norman and Luke Brooks. This does not make Mariner happy.

@mariner4life ugh, I guess SJ's earning power in oz trumps anything we'd be keen to offer. But if we get a real drop in quality that'll suck ass. I wonder if this will light a fire under his ass, or a new club will do something for him that we were never going to see at the warriors.
